Over a century ago, Leura was the site of several large residences built by various orders of nuns on prime sights on the crest of the Leura hill. One of these, St Raphael (circa 1902) remains. It is a former convent and local landmark. Today it boasts three elegant, self-contained holiday accommodations set in a 6000sq. metre private estate with a rambling Sorenson garden and views to Sydney.

The Convent, The Chapel and Priest's Cottage are totally separate accommodations with no common walls. Each has its own private entry, outdoor seating area and adjacent parking, all stunningly set among rambling Sorenson designed gardens on a 6000 sq. metre private estate atop the hill, central Leura.

St Raphael, with its amazing 270 degree views, is centrally located, just a leisurely 5 minute stroll (300 metres) to the heart of the charming Leura village, with its 20+ Cafes, coffee-shops, delis and restaurant venues, a Woolworths supermarket, a tempting variety of contemporary and quaint boutique shopping and art and craft galleries.

How To Get Here..

St Raphael is a short 5 minute walk from Leura Train Station. If driving up the mountains from Sydney, turn off the Great Western Highway at the Leura Mall exit. At the roundabout, turn right onto Leura Mall. Take the first right onto Britain Street. Continue straight ahead, over the pedestrian crossing and you will find St. Raphael on the north (left) side of the street.
